Wealth. Status. Security. None of it matters in the dark. . . . A novel of suburban horror by the author of Far from the Tree. On a quiet cul-de-sac in the just-opened, much sought-after Blackstoke housing development, the first handful of families are moving in. These neighbors are looking forward to settling into their bright new lives—with varying degrees of enthusiasm. Then things start to happen. Bad things. Like something doesn’t want them there. As the residents try to make sense of events, the buried history of the area makes itself suddenly, frighteningly apparent—with a series of shocking, violent escalations. Soon, no one is safe when the original powers of Blackstoke return to reclaim their territory and birthright in a final night of dark revelations and bloodshed. Praise for Rob Parker’s Far from the Tree “Gritty, gripping, fresh and authentic.” —Meg Gardiner, Edgar Award–winning author of UNSUB
